Welcome to the Camp Wood Public Library

March artist of the month

Pamela Winfield

Pamela is a multi-talented artist who resides in Camp Wood, Texas and part time in rural New Mexico. Pamela was born in Austin, Texas and has lived in many countries.

She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany. She has exhibited in Germany, Canada, India, and the United States. Her style explores pure colors and rhythms, yet does not eschew her love for the rigor of realism. Her work displays a synthesis of the two.

Strong artist genes and diverse life experiences influence her expressions in sculpture, water color, acrylic and oil paintings, sketches, portraits and murals.

Pamela has a wonderful article in Voices de La Luna, a quarterly poetry and arts magazine. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a beautiful selection of work from this very talented and creative artist.

Come by the Camp Wood Public Library during library hours Tuesday through Friday 11 to 5 to see the display

Estella Mae, a kindergartener at Nueces Canyon Elementary School, has her art displayed in the library’s Children’s Art Corner this month.

In addition to her love of making art, she enjoys learning, drama club, swimming, riding horses and gymnastics. She loves things that sparkle, as you will note in her art work.

Come enjoy their impressive art display at the library during library hours Tuesday through Friday 11 to 5.

On behalf of the volunteers at the Camp Wood Public Library, I thank you for your continuing financial support of our community library. 

With your backing, we are able to offer free WiFi access 24/7 and computers for public use during the library’s open hours.  We offer office equipment to copy documents, send and receive faxes, and print materials via computer.  We maintain a selection of movies on DVD, audio books, and the latest fiction and nonfiction books for people of all ages to enjoy.  All this, and we also offer your favorite books, audio books, and movies digitally through Overdrive, a free service which allows you to borrow these items anytime, anywhere – you don’t even have to leave home!  By simply using your library membership number and telephone number to sign into Overdrive or the Libby app, you can borrow these items for your tablet or cell phone.

You may be aware that our library receives an annual contribution from Real County, as required by the Texas Administrative Code.  However, 75% of our operating funds come from donations and fundraisers.  The Camp Wood Public Library is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, which means your contributions are 100% tax deductible.  And because we are an all-volunteer organization, all the funds received can be used for maintaining the library and providing services to our community.  We invite you to view our annual reports at tsl.texas.gov/ldn/statistics or at the library.

It is thanks to your donations that we are able to meet the costs of operating the library and to offer continuing services to our residents and visitors in the Canyon.  We hope you will come visit us at the library!  We would love to get acquainted and show you how your contributions are put to work.

 

Sincerely,

Karla Helton

Library Director
